Table 84. Explanation of Different Variables used in Figure 103 on page 208 and the Mapping
to the Z-pointer
Variable
Corresponding
Z-value⁽¹⁾
Description
PCMSB
11
Most significant bit in the Program Counter.
(The Program Counter is 12 bits PC[11:0])
PAGEMSB
4
Most significant bit which is used to address the
words within one page (32 words in a page
requires 5 bits PC [4:0])
ZPCMSB
Z12
Bit in Z-register that is mapped to PCMSB.
Because Z0 is not used, the ZPCMSB equals
PCMSB + 1
ZPAGEMSB
Z5
Bit in Z-register that is mapped to PAGEMSB.
Because Z0 is not used, the ZPAGEMSB
equals PAGEMSB + 1
PCPAGE
PC[11:5]
Z12:Z6
Program counter page address: Page select,
for page erase and page write
PCWORD
PC[4:0]
Z5:Z1
Program counter word address: Word select, for
filling temporary buffer (must be zero during
page write operation)
Note:
1. Z15:Z13: always ignored
Z0: should be zero for all SPM commands, byte select for the LPM instruction.
See “Addressing the Flash During Self-Programming” on page 207 for details about the use of
